This was a really hard decision for me, but for now, I’ve decided to take a break from violin.

Violin has been a huge part of my life for so many years. Recitals, orchestra, chamber music, theory lessons, summer camps… there are so many memories and so many amazing people I met along the way. Playing violin became part of my everyday life.

I’m also so thankful for my two amazing violin teachers. @joankwuon @violinbabylu They are both incredible musicians, but even more importantly, they have always cared about me, encouraged me, and helped me grow. I’m really grateful for everything they’ve taught me and all the support they’ve given me.

I’ll always be thankful for this part of my life, and maybe one day I’ll come back to it.

But right now, I’m ready to put all my energy into pickleball and see where this next chapter takes me.
